And as I pointed out, I have plenty of people to corroborate my claim. Millions, billions even, claim that they feel, see, are affected by, or otherwise experience God every single day. These experiences are, in some cases, so frighteningly similar to my own that it is ridiculous to write them off simply as coincidence. Given the sheer chances, it just isn't rational to do so.
What I'm saying is that if you want to argue corroboration and validation of thought, you have to look into the enormous amount of people who do believe in some form of God or Gods. As a man of science, it is important that you research such a wide-spread claim!
Unless you deny an objective reality, in which case you're reasons for not believing- that of wanting corroboration for claims made- is invalidated because a world where only subjective experience exists cannot rely on outside subjective ideas to make itself work.
I hope that makes sense to you, Paul. I did my best.
@Cap'n Scarlet- I never made the claim that reality is entirely subjective. I argued from a viewpoint which suggested as such, but I do not agree with that view. I am suggesting that since God is objective, thsoe who claim experience with God are dipping into His nature, and therefore expanding into an objective perspective on things.
